  • When Daniel Plainview utters this now-infamous line of black humour, devastating his rival: "I drink your MILKSHAKE!" Of course, there are those who think it Narmtacular...
  • The real CMoA is that Eli needs him to buy the holdout's land, and he says, "First, I want you to say 'I am a false prophet, and God is a superstition.'" And a moment later, when he does. And then it turns out he already drained the oil from the land, in other words, "drinking his milkshake".
  • The scene where he sees his business rivals in the restaurant qualifies. This is after he's proved them wrong, and his pipeline is making millions. They try to ignore him, but he proceeds to psychotically, publicly humiliate them.
  • H.W.'s "I thank God I have none of you in me", while heartbreaking for both sides, is this for actor Russell Harvard, who improvised said line. The original line was the rather generic "If you want to fight me, you're in for the fight of your life". The conflicted tone in George's voice is real, as he was not anticipating said improvisation.
